Mr. Kremlev also has direct ties to President Vladimir V. Putin. In April, Mr. Putin honored Mr. Kremlev with a high-level state award, the Order of Friendship. And just days before Mr. Trump’s wedding in May, Mr. Putin and Mr. Kremlev were seen together in China.Nothing to see here, I'm sure. Just another Russia...

Protest against the Omarchy/Omacom Foundation and the tech companies and executives funding far-right open source.A bit behind on this, but jeez, the amount of money flowing to an open-source project run by a white nationalist millionaire is beyond wild.

Areal, a “revival” of Arial, is based on the first version of Arial that was used on the internet (v2.82). It’s entirely redrawn and rebuilt from the ground up. Most revivals draw on analog artefacts like antique books, record covers, posters, etc. But Arial has always been a digital typeface, born in the computer...

Justin Vernon celebrates the breaded treats of Minnesota’s Howard’s Bar in a terrifically, terrifyingly jaunty tuneAbsolutely incredible.

Absolutely incredible stuff. This is exactly the fun and weird stuff the world needs right now. Stop the boring sanitization of everything and do stuff because it’s fun and because you can.

But it was not clear whether it was a serious proposal or a feel-good attempt to galvanize his base to turn out on election day, after he also previously promised payouts like a $5,000 "DOGE dividend" or a $2,000-per-person tariff check — neither of which has happened.I love that the US is making so much money that...

More importantly, there's really not a single trouble spot on the field, and the best way to show that is to take Crow-Armstrong out of the equation entirely. If we were to look at every team's defense this year excluding center field .. the Cubs would still be No. 1, narrowly over Toronto and St. Louis.These stats...

She assembled a device with a 12-volt battery, a frequency generator, and a speaker that emits 30 pulses per second. That vibration pushes oxygen away from the flames, and the fire simply goes out in five to eight seconds.This is very, very cool. It sounds like it's something that could eventually replace home fire...

Cohen will portray the title character. "The Popinjay Cavalier" is set to premiere in London's West End in spring 2027. It's being described as a "swashbuckling comedy" set in 1830s Europe — a British-style farce filled with slapstick chaos, awkward mishaps and characters constantly being mistaken for someone...

We’ve built an entire culture around links. We make links. Links make the web. The web makes Us.It should be no surprise to anyone around these parts what my feelings about links are. My entire goal here is to talk about what’s going on in the world (and have some fun) via links. Links to news, links to wonderful...

But Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, is funding an aggressive advertising campaign encouraging people in key states to check their registration status at a different website, votesafe.org. That website is run by America PAC, Musk’s super PAC.This feels like something that shouldn't be allowed, but then I...

It's an extra flourish that's not necessary by any means, and I can understand why someone would wonder why I think this is any better than what Samsung is doing, but it's the sort of extra flourish that elevates the experience. Now that I've seen it, it makes what I was used to feel old.I feel like it's been awhile...
